Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Liver enzymes can be elevated due to intake of wine or it may due to some other cause like:

1. Hepatitis B and C virus, Serum ceruloplasmin for wilson disease especially if you are young, ANA and SMA for autoimmune disease
2. Check your BMI (body mass index) as in overweight or obese paerson may have elevated liver enzymes due to fatty liver
3. Lipid profile and Ultrasound abdomen to see for liver echotexture

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
